Congratulations on another academic year doing some of the most important work in the world: educating our students. As we head into the summer, take a moment to recognize the historic year we had together.
This Charter Task Force was established in large part because of pressure generated by our strike. The majority recommendations of the Task Force are essential starting points
We want to start by appreciating you, UTLA members. Many of you participated in precinct walks, community events, phone banks, and making sure to vote and take family and friends with you. All of that said, a loss is always disappointing, and the results with Measure EE are no different.
As a 45-year educator serving in various capacities, including classroom teacher, principal, superintendent and finally, college professor, I call upon the public to vote in favor of Proposition EE.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles voters will have a unique opportunity to bring much-needed resources to our city’s public schools. I support Measure EE because as a professor of education at UCLA, I know that Los Angeles schools are underfunded.
There is one overwhelming punchline for all of us between now and June 4: We need to vote, we need to get others to vote, and we need to precinct walk to pass Measure EE. Jackie Goldberg’s 71% to 29% landslide victory on May 14 was a watershed moment.
I met in the school library — which is closed two or three days a week — with L.A. Unified Supt. Austin Beutner and teachers union President Alex Caputo-Pearl.
With close to 50% of precincts reporting as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Jackie Goldberg is headed toward a decisive victory in the LAUSD School Board District 5 special election, outpolling her opponent 71% to 29%.
After guiding and supporting teachers to conduct teaching as lesson research in the form of UTLA Lesson Design Study for 28 years, Charlotte Higuchi NBCT has retired as ISCA director. Instead Day Higuchi will lead a 3 salary-point Lesson Design Study course at UTLA for a nominal fee.
We’ve spent our careers explaining that public education is chronically underfunded. Enough is enough. For the first time in my career, and in yours, we are on offense against underfunding. Measure EE, on the local ballot on June 4 that would bring $500 million to our schools.
